Medora: Empress of the Badlands

Medora, the chief's daughter, returns to her homeland after a decade in the city. Her father is dying, leaving the tribe on the brink of dissolution, while their sacred grounds are targeted for oil drilling by a corporation. She isn't seeking reconciliation—her goal is power, but not the kind granted by treaties with the white men. Instead of negotiation, Medora declares war on Blackstone Inc., leveraging her knowledge of both worlds. This 2026 dramatic western examines the cost of heritage and the shape of modern resistance, where cowboy hats meet satellite phones, and the law of the badlands is being rewritten.
